Carmen Hughes said the Junior Chamber presented Nancy Ritchey, president of the Reading American Legion Auxiliary, with a $500 check toward their annual medical scholarship, available to Reading High School or Camden-Frontier High School students (or graduates currently attending college).

The remaining $1,500 raised will go toward Reading community projects, such as the Ranger Blankets, Angel Tree or upgrades to Waterworks Park.

“We had a beautiful day for the event on Sunday, July 20, and had 90 motorcycles and 142 participants,” Hughes said. “The ride was approximately 125 miles spanning across Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.”

This year’s theme was community-based organizations and included stops at the following establishments: Ray’s Tavern, Quincy American Legion, Coldwater Eagles, Orland American Legion, Fremont American Legion, Montpelier Moose and Reading American Legion.

Helping with preparations for the event by putting flags out were volunteer Bonnie Thompson, Judge Michelle Bianchi and Sara Lisznyai, candidate for district court judge.

Thompson said the town now has 100 flags to put up for special occasions.
